Snippet:
KYOTO (Japan News/ANN) -- Stone craftsman Takaaki Saida holds a chisel against a block of stone and strikes it rhythmically with a club hammer to carve out curves and patterns. He adjusts the angle of the chisel and the force of his strikes according to the stone's character. The sound of the hammer striking is like music.
